  • Comment Suggest changing caption from "first photograph" to "earliest photograph". Also, is use of honorific "Dr" necessary? — Eustress talk 01:12, 8 March 2012 (UTC) reply

  • Haven't found any yet, but as the salt print was introduced in 1839 (or 1841 in a another source) it's possible (note that it's not a definite statement above) Crisco 1492 ( talk) 02:27, 10 March 2012 (UTC) reply
